Because most women like to be deceived and most of them like deceit and lie than the truth. So men tend to use what they like to woo them. But I get so angry with men that have difficulty in expressing themselves in English. Speak whatever you are fluent in or gently walk away. |

Very dumb question,sir/madam. Last time I checked English was our lingua franca(and it still is) and Nigeria is a modern day tower of Babel. Anybody know what that means? The 2nd and final real option is pidgin. Picture this you just walk up to a random girl and start speaking itsekiri because you are an itsekiri man,hence you assume every one walking the streets is itsekiri. What does that make you? Dumb I guess. |

In my opinion, being well schooled is one of the boxes a guy has to tick to win a girl over. What better way to show off your level of education than to speak proper English? Except it is obvious you're well schooled, please speak English. Call me whatever you like o, I can't deal with a guy that can't string two sentences correctly please. Once he's convinced me that he's all right, let him knock himself out speaking any native language ... I'm gamed. You can't be a writer of... " i am a happy human and believe in God" or "am a happy human and believe in God" and still get my attention. Let only me be the blunderer here biko. Thank you! 1 Like |

From my own personal experience, whenever i approach a lady of Igbo heritage and knowing that we're from Igboland, i tend to cheap in one or two Igbo nuances once in a while but i always notice that their demeanour changes whenever i do that. The question i can assume they're asking themselves is "I'm i sure this guy is not a villager ". Since i noticed this, it's English all the way. 1 Like

The reason for such is a psychological phenomena known as colonial mentality. This traits are usually found in colonized countries. It's same in India as well, and it extend far beyond linguistic but deeply woven in all facet of life. For example Indians are mostly brown skin but if you judge India by their media, you'll think it's a white country. Even in Europe, I experienced such in the balkans and some Slavic countries in their own context. For example an English man will be pissed off if you live in his country and can't speak English, meanwhile, a serb will be surprised and feel admired if you speak to him in Serbian. They would generally prefer foreign goods and consider others better than them. It's subconscious. People with colonial mentality automatically reacts without even knowing they are acting like that. 2 Likes |

fratermathy: I'm not sure if the OP is simply playing devil's advocate or just very unintelligent (My apologies though). I mean, the OP first made a comment about an individuals accent, then went on to indicate the grammatical error made by the same individual and finally asks the question, why do men woo ladies using English? Doesn't make much sense at all. In a country of over 170 million people from different regions, tribes and ethnicity, anyone still asking why one person speaks English to another person must be brain dead. How is a Yoruba man suppose to communicate with a Hausa woman? In Igbo? What is the big deal or problem if two Nigerians decide to talk in English? A language which happens to be our official language by the way. What if the guy and the lady in question are both from different ethnicity? Did you (OP) consider this before coming on here to post such pointless topic? Speaking English doesn't make you or anyone more civilized, modern or more intelligent than another individual, it's just for form of verbal communication. There's absolutely no need to be intimidated (OP). |
